Cynical take: the DNC would like to splinter *pardon the term* the vote enough to force a contested convention.

it’s astonishing because compared to 2008, 2016 might as well have been an episode of Teletubbies. as a reminder, in 2008 the Clinton party line was that all Obama Boys were a bunch of misogynist rapists-in-waiting following the orders of a secret muslim who ate dogs, and Clinton needed to stay in the race in case…

That’s excellent new information Brian, and as I said in the first line of this reply (which has taken lots of toxic directions especially in the greys as I imagine you’re familiar with being a climate reporter) I think this article is the right direction to take on covering these things.

I bet you didn’t really do this. What kind of low human lies about bacon?

You have a very St. Louis sense of humor.

The Amtrak dining car died because it costs more to go 200 miles on Amtrak than it does to go 3,000 miles on a plane.

Yeah, I suppose that’s an excellent point; kudos to you for having a well-thought out, mature response. The problem is that even that answer would be better than giving the stink-eye to anyone who dares ask a question about Antonio Brown. NFL players get plenty of benefit-of-doubt with accusations, but the real reason…

That doesn’t really work, because the obvious followup is “why did you let him play a game for you if you take accusations of sexual assault seriously?” The honest answer is “we thought this initial rape accusation would be settled quietly out of court because it’s a civil case, and we weren’t expecting there would be…

“We’re in a culture where we want to cast judgement on people, we want to disparage people so quickly.”

“If things were completely different, your reaction would be completely different.”

But he’s... not?

Leave to the Patriots to go out of their way to look like a bunch of assholes, when having the one opportunity to look decent and responsible is teed up and ready to go. NOW, let’s try this again;

Every time I hear the phrase “BernieBro” I remember the way she acted in ‘08, not to say that there aren’t any BernieBros who are now turning on Elizabeth Warren of all people, but imagine if Bernie himself insinuated any other Democrat might be assassinated, particularly a non-white or female candidate. 

It’s not his fault the interview was held in a park full of squirrels across the street from the post office.

It’s kind of unfair to blame Brady for following Belichick’s lead here.

Nah. The worst was Hillary Clinton’s explanation in 2008.

That, and the fact that she’s just not as progressive or charismatic as, say, Sanders or Warren.

Weird stuff can happen in your head in any performance and sometimes you miss the easy shots and make the hard ones for whatever reason. I’d say it’s likely that from time to time a kicker relaxes a bit on a chip shot and misses when they’ve been hitting longer kicks all season long. But that’s not really a…

I commented about this on the article last night, but yeah, I really don’t understand the logic that says my kicker is struggling, so let’s not only move him back, but move him back to the spot where he had problems.

It doesn’t make it any less preposterous but I could swear that this isn’t the first time I’ve heard a coach or TV guy say something like this.
